Your cello’s too big for our train system
mainA Hong Kong university student faced a long investigation and the threat of a huge fine for carrying his cello on the East Rail Line. Ho Ka-yeung says plain-clothes officials measured the cello case and declared it 4cm too long.
This is, alarmingly, the third such incident on Hong Kong’s public transportation system this week.

May one ask why a story about Hong Kong is illustrated by a photograph of a house in Huinan?
No MTR or University pictures available?
The picture is hilarious.
Is this the piano museum at Chongqing?
No, it’s a private house.
Must have been built in a flood-prone area since the house is on stilts.
